Alan, I use about a dozen small 7x35 to 12x50 binoculars to teach scouts. Even a 10x50 is a big binocular for a young child. the 8x42 and 7x35 are a better...

I would even suggest 7x35 or 8x40/42 binos that are in a cheaper class, the scenix, or nikon, or anything much over $50 might be overkill for a 9yo for so many...
Id say 8x40 for handheld, 10x50 if you have really steady hands. a 5mm exit pupil is still pretty good. Orion Scenix 8x40 are highly regarded for $89 with 9deg...
